Abstract

With the advancement of oncologic treatments, advanced cancer patients with bone involvement survive longer. Cancer involving weight-bearing bones of pelvic girdle results in mechanical pain that interferes with ambulation, deteriorates quality of life, and causes serious complications that may accelerate their demise. Among common treatments for bone metastases, radiation therapy does not reinforce bone and surgical fixation is often complex with high risks of complications and may not be possible due to comorbidities in this patient population. Image guided percutaneous stabilization techniques have been proven as viable options in this setting.

影像引导手术稳定癌症患者骨盆带。

随着肿瘤治疗的进步，晚期癌症患者的骨骼受累存活时间更长。累及骨盆带负重骨的癌症会导致机械性疼痛，影响行走，降低生活质量，并导致严重并发症，可能加速患者的死亡。在骨转移的常用治疗方法中，放射治疗不能强化骨，手术固定通常复杂且并发症风险高，并且由于该患者群体的合并症可能不可行。图像引导经皮稳定技术已被证明是这种情况下可行的选择。

期刊介绍： Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
